Description
A heart transplant in Victorian Knightsbridge is followed by a near-death experience a century later. The London city streets provide a strange emotional network for a young man coming to terms with his father's imminent death. In an abandoned hospital, Danny's life is transformed when he makes love to a bottle-blonde waitress. A beautiful cardiologist falls for her patient's friend, and an idyllic break in Western Australia is foreshadowed by the threat of violence. Dangerous and dark connections of the heart reveal themselves in Nick Royle's new novel - a gripping narrative of loss and redemption.
